Data Authoring and Editing

Data makes your parts business. Our solutions make your data.

Snap-on Business Solutions is the premier parts data publishing enterprise. Publishing means more to us than merely getting a manufacturer's data where it needs to go. We add value, increasing usability and extending functionality.

Overview

For manufacturers that require in-house control of the creation, maintenance, and publication of service and parts data, we offer data authoring and editing tools. Combined with our three decades of publishing expertise, these tools empower your organization to create useful, efficient relationships between the various fixed operations data. The scope of content managed in our product suite includes service operations, procedures, operator manuals, technical service bulletins, technical illustrations, and comprehensive parts information.

By using our authoring and editing tools, you ensure that your production and engineering data reduces supply chain costs and increases operational efficiencies. All while you reliably deliver accurate parts and service content to your dealer and service networks.

Snap-on's authoring product suite is designed to work directly with parts and service data and to manage real-time data updates to end-user applications and third-party interfaces. The suite may be deployed flexibly while maintaining absolute data security, and is used by global clients to enable collaboration with multiple operational centers.

ConfigStudio™ is our premier data authoring and editing product suite. With ConfigStudio, part content is collected, filtered, and structured automatically, upstream at the engineering source. This allows authors more time to enhance and enrich the content that is useful for the part catalog users. The publishing staff spends less time recreating content and more time creating useful relationships.
